⁴ᴷ Wittpenn Bridge (NJ Route 7 from County Route 508) eastbound [4K VIDEO]

The Wittpenn Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge that carries New Jersey Route 7 over the Hackensack River in Jersey City and Kearny, in Hudson County, New Jersey. It is named after H. Otto Wittpenn, a former mayor of Jersey City. The bridge has an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of nearly 50,000 vehicles, including about 2,000 trucks. In 2005, the bridge was raised 80 times to accommodate boats passing underneath. The original span opened in 1930. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) replaced the Wittpenn Bridge and all its approach ramps (including connections to U.S. Route 1/9), a project estimated to cost $600 million, funded by federal dollars. The first phase of construction began in July 2011. The new span opened in 2021, and all associated project work was completed in 2022. The original bridge carried four 10-foot-wide lanes, extended 2,169 ft and stood 35 ft above mean high water with a 209 ft main lift span. Bridge construction commenced in 1927, and it was opened to vehicular traffic on November 5, 1930. When raised, the bridge provided 100 ft of clearance for ships. Following the opening of the 2021 span, demolition work commenced on this span with work being substantially complete by March 2022.
